Green County deer council sets first meeting
Placeholder Image
MONROE - The Green County Deer Advisory Council will meet at 7 p.m. March 12 at the Green County Justice Center, 2841 6th St., to review data and form preliminary 2018 antlerless quota, permit and season structure recommendations.

CDACs are part of an effort to provide more public input on deer management issues and give stakeholders a greater responsibility in managing local deer numbers. While this is a working meeting of the council, the public is invited and will have a formal opportunity to provide comments to the council. Local DNR staff will be on hand to present information and answer any questions.

Councils will review and discuss previous year's hunting season results and long-term harvest trends, accept public comments and develop preliminary antlerless quota, permit and season

structure recommendations. Recommendations will be sent to the Natural Resources Board for approval in May.

Following the March meetings, an online public comment period will take place from April 2-12, with a final council meeting being held on April 17 to allow the council to review public feedback before making final recommendations on the antlerless quota, permit and season structure.

Those unable to attend their county's meeting can view meeting minutes on the department's CDAC website at www.dnr.wi.gov.

Some county councils have vacant seats and qualified individuals are encouraged to look at the list of members if interested in filling a seat. An application and frequently asked questions document can be found on the CDAC page.
